Description
One of the questions of heavy element nucleosynthesis associated with massive star explosions will be discussed in this talk, namely the realization of possible conditions enabling neutron capture processes. It depends sensitively on the neutrino fluxes and spectra as well as their evolution, which, in turn are determined by the treatment of neutrino transport in the supernova models. It is found that in self-consistent spherically symmetric supernova explosion models, the presence of the inverse neutron decay as electron antineutrino opacity channel prevents any neutron-rich ejecta and hence the nucleosynthesis proceeds along the neutron-deficient side.
